Abstract
This thesis extends some standard results familiar from undergraduate calculus to the setting of higher order noncommutative functions. These extensions are accomplished using a difference-differential operator in a completely algebraic, topological free, manner. The results include a version of the mean value theorem, the Taylor formula and an antiderivative. The Taylor formula is applied to obtain results about power series on nilpotent matrices and higher order polynomials.
